Chapter 37: Snatching, Dividing, and the Seven-Colored Flower of Life
9 月 20 日下午,一群山矮人护送着三十辆羊车缓缓穿过荒野.
领头的山地侏儒骑着一只马头山羊,手里拿着一把锤子.他警惕地环顾四周,以确保团队的安全.
现在他已经到了人类边境地区,押送的货物让他不得不小心翼翼.
突然,数百名在周围荒野中爬行的骑士站了起来,全都投出长矛,然后发起了攻击.
整个过程并不马虎,30多个没有反应的山地矮人当场被困在了地上.
"敌人进攻,大家防守,保护矿石."
领头的山地矮人挥舞着锤子,大声命令道.
看着出现在他身边的人类,就算他没有脑子,也知道护送的消息已经泄露了,他们被这群贪婪的人类提前埋伏了.
奥尔科特找到了他的目标,直奔领先的山地矮人.
很快,锤子和长剑相互碰撞,外界的斗气相互交织,人类和山地矮人都远离了这一区域.
很快,其他白银骑士找到了他们的目标,并与白银级山地矮人作战.
看着战场上的情况,维林顿时感觉稳定了下来.
多对一,二对一,他们在人数上都有绝对的优势,无论是高端战力,还是底层战场.
"该死的人类,你们在找死."领头的山矮人看着逐渐减少的手下,潜力爆发,逼迫奥尔科特出战,让这位 50 多岁的白银高阶骑士难以抵挡.
"埃德加,布莱恩,帮帮我."
处理完对方的两名白银中级骑士后,他们立即前去支援奥尔科特.
面对三人的围攻,山地矮人首领逐渐陷入劣势,奥尔科特抓住机会,砍断了双臂.
"啊——"
"该死."
山矮人首领环顾四周,只剩下几个手下,大部分都死于人类之手.
"Humans, you will pay the price, Marquis Darrag will definitely find you."
"Hehe, then you have to find us."
The next moment, the leader of the mountain dwarves was killed, and the remaining mountain dwarves were all killed by the sword without exception.
Afterwards, everyone began to clean up the battlefield, collecting the heads of mountain dwarves, and collecting the corpses of their fallen colleagues.
In order to avoid an unexpected situation, the group did not stop and prepared to return to the Lake of Praying Stars before distributing the spoils.
After the army left, Velin threw the centaur token that had been cleaned with deodorant potion into a hidden bush as a slander.
On the way back, for the sake of safety, Alcott chose to circle around the border of Cypress Province and give the other party false news.
In the Lake of Praying Stars, in a wooden house, Weilin placed the number of casualties and the amount of supplies on the table and officially began the meeting to divide the spoils.
Alcott, the interim commander-in-chief, did not hesitate to act as the host and preside over the sharing conference.
"The captured loot is divided into two parts, one is the head of the mountain dwarf, and the other is the bronze, Nubian black goat, horse head sheep and weapons and equipment. I propose to divide it according to different proportions."
"The heads of the mountain dwarves are divided according to the number we killed. Other materials are divided according to the proportion of contributions."
Hearing this, the other three nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Alcott continued: "In this battle, seventeen Bronze Knights were killed and twenty-three Bronze Knights were wounded. Edgar lost eleven Bronze Knights and nine Bronze Knights were wounded. Brian lost six Bronze Knights and thirteen Bronze Knights were wounded. Three Bronze Knights were wounded in Welling."
"In this battle, a total of 237 mountain dwarf skulls were obtained, 83 were unfashionable, 148 were bronze, and 6 were silver."
"So..."
After half an hour, the meeting ended, and everyone got their share of the spoils.
In this battle, Velin obtained a total of six carts of mountain copper ore, a total of about twelve tons, twelve Nubian black goats, six horse-headed goats, thirty sets of dwarf weapons and equipment, one head of a silver-level mountain dwarf, sixteen bronze-level mountain dwarf heads, and twenty-six mountain dwarf heads.
At this stage, the heads of these mountain dwarves are of little use, but they will be of great use when he becomes a baron and advances to a viscount.
In the Kingdom of Elijah, anyone below the Duke stage could be promoted to a title by virtue of military merit.
Of course, among the various classes, there are year restrictions.
For example, the Aix family, as an earl's family, has long reached the standard of becoming a marquis, but the family only has a history of 700 years, and there is still a distance of 100 years from the inheritance conditions of 800 years.
On the second day after the division of the spoils ended, the three of them led their troops one after another to leave the Lake of Praying Stars.
Everyone left, and Velin entered the farming mode, continued to develop the territory, supervised the establishment of castles, and organized army training.
In order to deal with the Jackals two months later, Verin even began to organize training for his own users and serfs, so that he could quickly replenish his troops when he was damaged in battle.
"Lord, you are looking for me." Baird came to Velin's study, beat his chest and saluted, and said.
Seeing this, Verlin stopped the pen in his hand and ordered Baird, "I'm going to give you a task next."
"Please order the Lord."
"In the next two months, I need you to lead the army and organize a collection team to collect all the things that can be used within a ten-kilometer radius."
"Remember, destroy everything that cannot be collected, and we must not leave any of it behind."
"Yes, Lord."
After Baird received the order, he immediately left the study.
Velin came to the window, looked at the calm lake, and said to himself, "Two months, the walls are clear, and there is no food around, I want to see how this group of jackals will solve it."
There are only two months left before the monster attack, he must speed up and improve his strength.
Soon, on the night of October 1st, fate once again brought valuable news to Velin.
[There is a cave at the bottom of the Lake of Praying Stars, where the seven-colored flower of life grows.]
"Seven-colored Flower of Life."
Velin got up from the bed, went to the desk, opened the drawer, and took out a book with many magical plants recorded on it.
Soon, he found the information he was looking for.
"Seven-colored Flower of Life, a rare magical plant. Legend has it that it is a plant loved by Life Muse. It can quickly recover injuries, repair body injuries, restore body functions, and extend one's lifespan. It is an extremely rare magical plant."
"In addition, the seven-colored Life Flower can enhance the user's magic talent."
"The value is huge. The discoverer proposes to hand it over to the Temple of Life, and it will be favored by the Muse of Life."
Seeing this last sentence, don't think about it, this must have been added by the church.
The Seven-Colored Flower of Life was a valuable magical plant. Other than a fool who would turn it over to the Church and obtain illusory honors, no normal person would believe this.
